EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1920s, capturing a timeless view of Cleopatra's Needle on the Embankment in London. Standing tall and proud, this ancient Egyptian obelisk carved in granite has been an iconic landmark since its erection in 1878. The cigarette card produced by the Westminster Tobacco Co Ltd showcases this magnificent structure as part of their second series featuring British royal and ancient buildings. The monochrome aesthetic adds a touch of nostalgia to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. As we gaze upon this collectible piece, we are transported to a different era where grandeur and architectural marvels were celebrated. The location itself holds immense geographical importance as it sits gracefully on the bank of the River Thames. This strategic placement not only enhances its visual appeal but also symbolizes the connection between two great civilizations - Egypt and England. As we admire this print, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also acknowledge how it serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage. It is through such prints that history comes alive, allowing us to delve into past times while appreciating their lasting impact on our present-day landscape.
